the 16th installment of the storied franchise, grows closer
with each passing day. Over the past week the good folks at SOE have
been releasing sneak peaks at the content and what players are in store
for when it goes live. In the newest update to the Unfolding the Lore
series we delve into

The
Underquarry
The
Underquarry
is a multi-lobed underground strip-mine where servitors of Brell toil
endlessly to mine the living rock along a system of pathways and veins.
It was once a few large caverns quietly hiding
underground. Flowing
water breached the caverns, creating two massive sinkholes.
Since then
the water flow from above has ceased and Brell's minions have turned
the caverns into mines and quarries for needed materials.
This
multi-purpose mine provides precious metals and stone to the jewelers,
masons and carvers of various realms. The products of the
mine include
copper, silver, gold, marble and other useful materials.
The
Rive, a huge crack in the ground of the caverns, was created when Brell
smashed his fist into the ground of the cave; cracking the ground to
reveal a well of lava below. At all times of the
day and night
servants carry scraps of stone, metal and even dead stone or metal
creatures to the Rive and drop them in. These materials go
into the
Rive to appear in mortal realms like Norrath. It is the Rive
that
allows the Underfoot to seed these items into the realms over which
Brell holds sway.
The
workforce of the mines is made up of a
variety of Bell’s minions. From massive stone golems and
Genari to the
smallest mephit, most usually work the mines without care or
complaint. Most of the material is hauled out on the backs of
minions,
a labor that they enjoy immeasurably.
Tunnels
created by the
Greken lead to other areas of the Underfoot.
Brell’s minions are
currently terrified of the intruding Cliknar which occasionally venture
in from nearby Arthicrex hive.
style="font-style: italic;">Since Brell’s
recent distraction,
some of the usually dedicated Burynai have blocked off part of the
mines to others, and there has been a Cliknar invasion in another part
of the mines. Production, usually a cyclical matter, has
continued
non-stop in all other parts of the mine. This has caused a massive
overproduction of raw materials in the Underfoot that threatens to
become a problem in the worlds that the Underfoot supplies.
